17Terms and Conditions16 Terms and Conditions

1.5.1 The following driving licences are accepted:

• EU driving licences

• National driving licences in German or English

• National driving licences from non-EU countries

not issued in English are only acceptable if

accompanied by a certified German or English

translation

• International driving licences only when

presented together with a national driving

licence

1.5.2 Participants shall not be entitled to

participate in the relevant Porsche Travel Club

event, if they have been officially banned from

driving or are unable to produce a valid driving

licence. In such cases, the participation price

shall not be reimbursed.

1.6 Third parties (e.g. hotels, travel agencies or

transport companies) are not authorised by the

Operator to make agreements, to provide

information or to make assurances which alter

the agreed content of the contract, go beyond the

contractually promised services offered by the

Operator or contradict the event offer.

1.7 Local information and hotel brochures that

have not been issued by the Operator are not

binding for the Operator or their service

obligation, unless they have been expressly

agreed with the participant as part of the event

offer or as part of the service obligation of the

Operator.

1.8 Insofar as the participant only books an

additional service (e.g. green fees, admission

ticket, additional nights) from a third party

provider without any other services, the Operator

is only acting as an agent for the external service.

The purchase of mediated external services

means that the participant is entering into a

contractual arrangement with the respective

provider. The name of the provider in question is

on the vouchers issued to the participant.

2 Payment

2.1 The Operator and travel agent may only

request or accept payments against the

participation price before the end of the event, if

the participant has been issued with an insolvency

insurance certificate (insolvency insurance cover

with Deutscher Reisepreis Sicherungsverein VVaG

(DRS)). After conclusion of the contract, a deposit

of 25 % of the total price will become due when

the insolvency insurance certificate is issued. The

balance must be paid 30 days before the start of

the event, insofar as the insolvency insurance

certificate is issued and it is certain that the

event will be performed as booked (cf. clause 3).

2.2 The amounts for the deposit and balance and

any applicable cancellation charge are shown in

the confirmation. The charges in the event of a

cancellation (cf. clause 9), change to booking or

handling fees (cf. clauses 9, 11) as well as

charges for individual event arrangements

(cf. clause 7) are payable immediately.

2.3 Prices are stated in Euro and are inclusive of

VAT. The invoice amount is payable without

deductions. Payments by transfer to the account

of the Porsche Travel Club can only be made in

Euro. In the case of money transfers from foreign

countries, the participant shall bear the transfer

charges.

Porsche Travel Club Terms and Conditions

The Operator and your contractual partner shall

be exclusively _wige EVENT gmbh. Thanks to an

agreement with Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG

(hereinafter referred to as Porsche),

_wige EVENT gmbh (hereinafter referred to as

wige EVENT) is authorised to provide certain

services under the designation Porsche Travel

Club. Your registration does not constitute a

contractual relationship between you and

Porsche.

Dear Guest,

the Operator, wige EVENT, is working in

conjunction with Porsche under the name of

Porsche Travel Club to provide the experience

programmes described in the brochure. Please

read these terms and conditions carefully, as by

making a booking you agree to accept them.

These will be sent to you or viewed by you online

before you make your booking. They apply to all

events offered by the Porsche Travel Club, plus

the additional services (e.g. green fees) booked

at your destination (see clauses 14–16). These

terms and conditions supplement section

651 a–m of the BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch –

German Civil Code) as well as sections 4–11 BGB-

InfoV (Ordinance on the Requirement to Provide

Information and Supporting documents in Civil Law).

Please note that in order to participate in any

event organised by the Porsche Travel Club as a

driver, the relevant individual must be able to

produce a valid driving licence on the day,

immediately before the start of the event.

1 Conclusion of the agreement

1.1 With the registration, the participant offers

the Operator the conclusion of a binding contract.

The contract becomes binding when the

declaration of acceptance issued by the Operator

is received by the participant. Such a declaration

does not require a certain form. Upon or

immediately after the conclusion of the contract,

the Operator then sends the participant a written

confirmation. This shall not be required if the

participant’s booking has been made less than 7

working days before the start of the event.

1.2 The written confirmation which the

participant receives directly after concluding the

contract will contain all essential information on

the services booked by the participant.

1.3 If the content of the Operator’s declaration of

acceptance differs from the content of the

booking, this constitutes a new offer on the part

of the Operator to which they are bound for a

period of 10 days. The contract comes into effect

on the basis of the new offer, if the participant

declares their acceptance to the Operator within

this binding period by providing a clear

declaration, making a deposit or paying the

outstanding balance.

1.4 The participant is answerable for their

obligations in respect of this contract as well as

for those of the people travelling with them for

whom they made the booking, insofar as they

have accepted this obligation by way of a clear

and separate declaration.

1.5 The participant must produce a valid driving

licence before taking possession of a hired

Porsche model. Participants must also affirm that

no driving ban has been imposed on them by any

authority.


4 Vehicles

4.1 Porsche cars may be hired for the duration of

Porsche Travel Club events. These are provided

by wige EVENT. In this case, a separate car hire

agreement has to be made with wige EVENT.

Participants do not have any entitlement to a

specific Porsche car model. There are always two

persons in each vehicle. Subject to availability,

participants can opt to be a sole driver (Single

Driver) for an additional charge.

4.2 Participants hiring a Porsche model must

produce a valid driving licence and identity

papers/passport as well as a credit card at the

check-in on the day of the event. The relevant

details are entered on the car hire contract with

wige EVENT along with the participant’s home

address. This contract must then be signed by

the participant.

4.3 Hired Porsche models are covered by third-

party vehicle insurance.

4.4 In the context of a Porsche Travel Club event,

hired Porsche models are not covered by fully

comprehensive insurance. However, in the case

of any damage, participants will be treated as if

the car was covered by fully comprehensive

insurance with an excess. The amount of the

excess is 2,500 Euro per case of damage, as

disclosed in the relevant car hire contract with

wige EVENT. The excess may be higher in certain

cases, e.g. for Turbo models.

4.5 If the insurer is not liable due to wilful intent

or gross negligence on the part of the participant,

or if the third-party insurance held by wige EVENT

can take redress against the participant as a

result of this behaviour, or if the damage caused

by the participant is not covered by the third-

party vehicle insurance, the participant is liable

for all damage they have caused. In the case of

gross negligence, the Operator shall be entitled

to assert claims against the participant at a level

commensurate with the severity of the fault, up to

the amount of the total damage.

4.6 Participation in own Porsche vehicles at

special events.

4.6.1 The Porsche Travel Club reserves the right

to offer special events at which participants will

drive their own Porsche vehicles.

4.6.2 Only vehicles covered by statutory third-

party insurance and which comply with the

German road traffic licensing regulations (StVZO)

may be used in the event.

4.6.3 The use of vehicles that have been issued

with transit or temporary number plates is not

permitted in these events.

4.6.4 All parts or equipment fitted to the vehicles

used to participate in a special event organised

by the Porsche Travel Club must be approved by

the German Technical Inspection Association

(TÜV) and entered in the vehicle registration

papers.

4.6.5 The Operator reserves the right to exclude

from the event any vehicle that does not comply

with the aforementioned requirements in

accordance with clauses 4.6.2 to 4.6.4. There is

no entitlement to the provision of a replacement

vehicle in such cases.

4.6.6 The Operator recommends that

participants check with their car insurers to

ensure the validity of their third-party vehicle

insurance and, if applicable, their fully

2.4 The participant may also pay for the event by

credit card. In this case, the credit card details

will be requested separately when booking. The

Operator will also need the address of the

participant or, where relevant, the address of the

person receiving the documents as well as the

participant’s authorisation to charge their current

account via the credit card.

2.5 If the participant has not received the event

documents 4 days before the start of the event,

at the latest, they shall immediately contact the

Porsche Travel Club. In the case of short notice

bookings made within 7 days before the start of

the event, the participant will receive their

documents as agreed with the service team of

the Porsche Travel Club. In your own interest, we

would ask you to check your event documents

carefully upon receipt.

2.6 If payments are not made or not made in full

by the agreed deadlines and if the participant fails

to make a payment even after a reminder with

payment deadline, the Operator may cancel the

relevant contract except in the case where a

serious deficiency with the event has already

become apparent.

2.7 In the event of cancellation of the contract in

the context of the sentence above, the Operator

can demand payment of cancellation charges as

compensation in line with clause 9 of these terms

and conditions. If the participant does not make

the payments despite being in arrears, the

Operator reserves the additional right to charge a

dunning cost fee of 10 Euro for the second

reminder. The participant’s right to prove that

substantially lower or no costs were incurred

remains unaffected.

2.8 Costs for additional services, such as visa

applications, etc. are not included in the

participation price, unless expressly itemised in

the service description. If such costs are

incurred, they will be invoiced separately.

3 Services/prices

3.1 The contractually agreed services are found

in the service descriptions (e.g. brochure, flyer,

Internet) and in the details to be found in the

written confirmation.

3.2 The following services of Porsche Travel Club

shall be covered by the participation price:

• Provision of a hired Porsche model (including

fuel), according to the event description and

car hire contract to be agreed separately

(cf. clause 4)

• Accommodation and catering according to the

event description

• Local taxes

• Accident insurance

• Travel cancellation insurance

• Third-party vehicle insurance

(cf. clause 4.3-4.5)

• Event documents

• Event management

3.3 The participant pays for the following costs:

• Costs for arrival and departure (unless

described otherwise in the documents)

• Additional costs in the hotel (drinks at the bar,

alcoholic drinks with dinner, etc.)

3.4 Before the contract is concluded, the

Operator can modify the service descriptions at

any time. Of course, the participant will be

informed accordingly before making the booking.


In the event that the air carrier disclosed to the

participant changes, the Operator must inform

the participant accordingly. They must

immediately take all appropriate steps to ensure

that the participant is informed about the change

as quickly as possible.

At ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/safety/air-

ban/index_en.htm, a list of airline companies

subject to an operating ban within the EU

(community list) can be found.

7.1.2 Flights will be with scheduled airlines.

Participants will be carried in economy class; a

transfer to First Class or Business Class is

possible on payment of the appropriate

supplement. Transportation is provided on the

basis of the terms and conditions of transport of

the respective transport provider. These can be

furnished upon request. We strongly recommend

that money, valuables, technical equipment and

medication be carried exclusively in your hand

baggage.

7.2 Special requests:

7.2.1 The Porsche Travel Club may only accept

the handling of special requests if they declare

them to be non-binding. The Operator will do their

best to accommodate the request for special

arrangements that are not described in the

service description (e.g. neighbouring rooms or

rooms in a certain location or specific models

when hiring vehicles).

7.2.2 In addition to the services described in the

event programmes, the Operator will be happy to

cater to personal programme requests (à la carte

services) as a separate Porsche Travel Club

service. This à la carte service refers to all event

components that do not conform to the service

description according to the brochure.

7.2.3 If participants wish to stay longer at the

event destination, they should contact the local

event management or Porsche Travel Club team

as soon as possible. We are only too happy to

extend your stay if the relevant accommodation

and return transport options are available. The

costs for extending the stay are payable at the

destination. Please have a close look at the

applicable rates and conditions for your return

transport as well as the period of validity of your

travel insurances and any possible visa

requirements.

7.2.4 For the events on offer, the participant will

be looked after at the destination by the event

management of the Porsche Travel Club.

Please consult your event documents for details,

addresses and phone numbers. In the event of

complaints, please refer to the special notes

under clause 15.

7.2.5 In the event that additional services are

booked by the participant after the initial invoice

or locally during the event, wige EVENT reserves

the right to cancel the original invoice and to send

a new invoice to the participant.

7.2.6 Insofar as there are specific event-related

circumstances for which a special flight or

charter flight is offered, the Operator is only

acting as an agent. For flights, please refer to the

terms and conditions of the respective provider

of charter flights or the relevant airline company.

The Operator points out that, in many cases,

there may be a charge for rescheduling or

cancelling flights, if possible at all.

8 Changes to services and prices

8.1 Any changes in or deviations from individual

services specified in the original contract that

may become necessary after conclusion of the

comprehensive insurance cover in relation to any

planned participation at a Porsche Travel Club

event.

4.6.7 If participating in an own Porsche vehicle,

any fuel not specified in the general regulations is

not included in the participation price.

5 Accompanying guests

There are always two drivers/full-paying

participants in each vehicle. Accompanying

persons are therefore not expected to take part

in the driving programme. Children aged 12 years

or above may, in exceptional cases, participate in

the event and travel as an accompanying guest

with their parents in the hire car (participation

prices are provided on request, only possible in a

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera or Macan).

Both parents must sign a liability waiver for the

minor.

6 Safety precautions

6.1 Participants must follow the instructions

given by wige EVENT employees for the entire

duration of any event. Seat belts must be worn at

all times.

6.2 The use of mobile phones and smoking are

not permitted while driving.

6.3 In the event of gross breaches of driving

discipline, the event management shall be entitled

to exclude the participant concerned from any

further participation. In such cases, there shall be

no reimbursement of the event fee.

6.4 The consumption of alcohol is strictly

prohibited (blood alcohol level: 0.0 per cent) on

all Porsche Travel Club driving programmes, as is

the taking of drugs or other intoxicating

substances which may impair the participant’s

ability to drive. All participants undertake to

ensure, through their behaviour before and

during the event, that they comply with these

requirements. The event management shall be

entitled to exclude any participant reasonably

suspected of consuming alcohol or taking drugs

or any other intoxicating substance from

participating in the event. In such cases, there

shall be no reimbursement of the participation

price.

6.5 Travelling with the Porsche Travel Club entails

participants driving on public roads. Participants

are solely responsible for their own conduct. Any

infringements of road traffic regulations will be

forwarded from the Operator to the participant

and the participant’s address will be disclosed to

the authorities, should this be required.

7 Inclusion of flights/special requests

7.1 If flights are to be included:

7.1.1 In accordance with the EU regulation on

informing passengers of the identity of the air

carrier, the Operator is obliged to inform the

participant of the identity of the airline company

performing any or all airline transport services to

be rendered during the booked event at the time

of booking.

If the operating airline company has not yet been

conclusively established at the time of booking,

the Operator shall be obliged to inform the

participant about the airline company/companies

that will probably perform the flight.

As soon as the Operator has established which

airline company will perform the flight, they shall

inform the participant.


of these terms and conditions) of the notice of

cancellation is definitive for complying with this

period. Participants are required to submit their

cancellation in writing.

9.2 If the participant cancels the event or fails to

take part in the event (no-show), the Operator

loses the entitlement to the participation price.

Instead, the Operator, as long as they are not

responsible for the cancellation or the failure to

undertake the event and a case of force majeure

does not exist, can demand reasonable

compensation depending on the actual

participation price (including any additional

services booked) for making the event

arrangements up to the cancellation/failure to

attend and their incurred costs (cancellation

charges).

The cancellation charges as itemised in the

following sub-clauses are calculated on a pro-rata

basis for the participation price (including any

additional services booked) according to the

proximity of the date of cancellation to the date

of the contractually agreed start of the event

taking due account of normally saved

expenditures and customary possible alternative

use of the services.

9.3 Cancellation charges are also due if a

participant does not appear punctually at the

times specified in the event documents at the

relevant airport or place of departure or if the

participant cannot take part in the event due to

the absence of the relevant event documents,

such as valid passport or necessary visa, for a

reason for which the Operator is not responsible.

9.4 The participant is entitled to provide proof

that no or significantly lower costs were incurred

in the context of the cancellation or no-show than

the costs imposed by the Operator when

implementing the flat rates.

9.5 The flat-rate cancellation charges for Porsche

Travel Club events are applied per person as

follows:

more than 30 days before the event 25 %,

from 30th day before the event 50 %,

from the 15th day before the event 75 %,

from 3rd day before the event up to the day on

which the event starts or no-show 90 % of the

participation price.

9.6 In the case of flight-only on scheduled flights

per person more than 30 days before departure,

the flat-rate claim for cancellation charges

amounts to 50 Euro; from 30th day before

departure 150 Euro. This provision only applies to

cancellation of flight-only routes on scheduled

flights and not to cancellation of combined

events.

9.7 In the case of additional services where the

Operator acts only as an agent, e.g. green fees,

admission tickets, additional nights (cf. clause 1),

the cancellation conditions of the respective

service provider apply. The participant is advised

of these when making the booking.

9.8 The Operator reserves the right to request a

higher concrete compensation, differing from the

aforementioned flat rates. In this event, the

Operator shall be obliged to specify and prove a

concrete figure for the requested compensation,

taking into account any saved expenditure and

any possible alternative use of the service.

contract and are not due to actions on the part of

the Operator involving a breach of good faith are

permissible only to the extent that they are of

minor significance and do not impair the overall

nature of the event booked. In the case of booked

flights, flight times are as shown on the flight

ticket.

8.2 Any warranty claims remain unaffected,

especially insofar as the changed services are

subject to deficiencies. The Operator shall be

obliged to inform the participant immediately

concerning changes in or deviations from the

services. If appropriate, the Operator will offer

the participant the opportunity of rebooking or

cancelling the contract free of charge. If a

changed flight also involves a change in the

airport, any Rail & Fly ticket included in a

participant’s event documents is still valid.

8.3 In the event of an increase in transport costs

or duties levied for certain services, such as port

or airport taxes, after conclusion of the contract,

the Operator reserves the right to change the

agreed participation price as follows:

8.3.1 If any transport costs incurred, in particular,

fuel costs, rise above the costs at the time of

concluding the contract, the Operator can

increase the participation price according to the

following calculation:

a) The case of cost increases charged to the

Operator on a seat basis, the Operator can

charge the participant the relevant increase.

b) In other cases, the additional transport costs

charged by the transport provider per means of

transport are divided by the number of seats for

the contractual means of transport. The Operator

can charge the participant the resultant increase

per seat calculated in this manner.

8.3.2 If charges such as port or airport charges

that the Operator has to pay are increased above

the costs at the time of concluding the contract,

the participation price can be increased by the

corresponding pro-rata amount.

8.3.3 Charging increased costs in accordance

with the paragraphs mentioned above, is only

permitted if the interval between the conclusion

of the contract and the agreed event date is more

than four months and the circumstances leading

to the increase had not occurred nor could be

foreseen by the Operator before the contract was

concluded.

8.4 In the case of a retrospective change of the

participation price, the Operator shall inform the

participant immediately. Price increases within

the last 20 days before the start of the event are

not permitted. In the case of price increases of

more than 5 %, the participant is entitled to

cancel the contract or to request transfer to

another event that is at least of the equivalent of

the event in question on the condition that the

Operator is able to offer such an event to the

participant at no extra cost from their

programme. The mutual rights and duties

referred to in this paragraph also apply in the

case of a permitted change to a main service.

8.5 The participant shall assert his rights against

the Operator immediately after being notified by

the Operator about the price increase and/or the

change to the service.

9 Start of event/cancellation charges

9.1 The participant may cancel the event at any

time prior to travelling. The date of receipt by the

Operator (for the address, please refer to the end


13 Cancellation and termination by the

Operator

13.1 The Operator may terminate the contract

without notice if the participant continues to

disrupt the course of the event despite proper

admonishment by the Operator. This also applies

if the conduct of the participant grossly violates

the terms of the contract to such an extent that

the immediate termination of the contract is

justified. The Operator reserves the right to retain

the participation price paid for the event. The

disruptive participant shall also bear any extra

costs incurred for repatriation. However, the

Operator must make due cost adjustment that

takes into account the value of any expenditure

saved, as well as such benefits generated by the

components not made use of by the participant

and put to other meaningful use or any refunds

received from service providers.

13.2 The Operator may cancel the event contract

up to 5 weeks (receipt by the participant) before

the start of the event, should the minimum

number of participants specified in the relevant

service description and in the written confirmation

not be reached. The Operator shall, of course,

notify the participant as soon as it becomes

apparent that the minimum number of participants

will not be reached. The notice of cancellation

will be delivered to the participant immediately.

The participant shall be immediately refunded the

participation price paid.

13.3 In the event of the Operator cancelling the

contract, the participant shall be entitled to

demand his participation in another event of at

least equal value, provided the Operator is able to

offer such an event from their programme without

burdening the participant with extra costs. The

participant shall assert this right against the

Operator immediately after having received the

notice of cancellation from the Operator. If the

participant does not exercise their right to

participate in an event of equal value, they shall

immediately be refunded the participation price

paid.

14 Extraordinary circumstances/force

majeure

14.1 We refer you to section 651j of the BGB in

the case of termination of the contract due to

force majeure. The wording of this section is as

follows: "(1) If the travel package is substantially

obstructed, jeopardised or impaired as the result

of force majeure not foreseeable when the

contract was entered into, then both the travel

organiser and the traveller may terminate the

contract merely under this provision.

(2) If the contract is terminated under subsection

(1), then the provisions of section 651e (3)

sentences 1 and 2, and 651e (4) sentence 1

apply. Extra costs for return transport are to be

borne by the parties one-half each. Apart from

this, extra costs are borne by the traveller.”

14.2 You will find travel advisories from the

German Foreign Office on the internet at

www.auswaertiges-amt.de or by calling

+49 30 5000 2000.

15 Redress/price reduction/termination

15.1 If a service is not fulfilled or not fulfilled

according to the contract, the participant shall be

entitled to demand redress. The participant shall

be obliged to immediately inform the Operator

of any deficiency relating to the event. If the

participant fails to do that on account of a fault on

their part, no reduction of the participation price

will be made. This shall not apply only in the event

that the information is recognisably hopeless or

unreasonable for other reasons.

10 Ordering vouchers/gift certificates

10.1 If a voucher for a given value that has

already been issued is returned, a handling fee of

5 % of the value of the voucher will be charged.

Payment will only be made to the person who

ordered the voucher. The participant is entitled to

furnish proof that the costs were lower or indeed

non-existent. The right to provide a substitute

participant (see clause 11) remains unaffected by

the above provisions.

10.2 Vouchers may only be redeemed against

services provided by Porsche Driving Experience.

Vouchers cannot be redeemed against additional

services, such as flights or any rebooking or

cancellation fees. Vouchers may only be

redeemed through the Operator, wige EVENT.

Vouchers may be split and used for several

bookings. Any remaining value under 50 Euro

shall not be refunded and shall expire. Vouchers

shall not be issued for any remaining value under

50 Euro.

10.3 Vouchers and their redemption are subject

to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Vouchers shall be valid for a period of 3 years

from the end of the year in which they are issued.

11 Rebooking/change of person

11.1 Up to the 31st day before the start of the

event, at the request of the participant, the

Operator shall, as far as is feasible, amend the

confirmation (rebooking) for a fee of 50 Euro per

person. Rebooking means, for instance, a change

to the date of an event, the destination, the place

the event commences, the accommodation or

transport. In the case of scheduled flights, as

soon as the ticket has been issued, additional

changes to the departure time are deemed to be

a rebooking. Changes in line with the periods

referred to above (e.g. for flight-based/standard

charges from 30th day before start of event) as

well as changes that take effect outside the

period of validity of the service description (cf.

clause 3) upon which the booking is made may

only be made by cancelling the contract under the

provisions in clause 9 and immediately rebooking.

This also applies to flight-only travel on scheduled

flights in the case of a change of carrier

performed at the participant’s request.

11.2 Until the start of the event, the participant

may request that a third party be assigned their

rights and duties in accordance with the contract.

In this case, the Operator must be notified

immediately. The Operator may object to the third

party substituting the participant, if the third

party does not satisfy the necessary event

requirements or if statutory or official regulations

or directives preclude their participation.

11.2.1 If a third party replaces the booked

participant, the Operator is entitled to charge a

flat-rate handling fee of 50 Euro to cover the

associated costs. The participant’s right to

furnish proof that substantially lower or no costs

at all have been incurred remains unaffected.

11.2.2 The registered participant and the

substitute are jointly and severally liable for

paying the extra cost incurred through inclusion

of the replacement person.

12 Insurance

Events organised by the Porsche Travel Club

generally include an insurance package covering

travel cancellation and accident insurance.


liability amounts apply per participant and event.

Possible claims related to baggage in accordance

with the Montreal Convention which might go

beyond such an amount remain unaffected by this

limitation.

16.5 The Operator shall not be liable for

interruptions to services, personal injury and

property damage related to services for which

they acted merely as agent and only mediated

services rendered by an outside party (e.g.

excursions, sports events, theatre visits,

exhibitions, transportation services from and to

the specified places of departure and destinations),

if these services were explicitly designated in the

event description and the booking confirmation

as services rendered by an outside party so that

they are discernible to the participant as not

being part of the service rendered by the Operator.

16.6 The Operator is, however, liable for services

which include the transportation of participants

from the specified place of departure for the

event to the specified destination, interim

transport during the event and the accommodation

during the event, if and insofar as the damage

suffered by the participant was causally due to

the Operator breaching their obligations to

inform, advise and organise.

16.7 The participant is solely responsible for his

participation in sports and other leisure activities.

The participant should inspect the sports

facilities, equipment and vehicles before using

them. The Operator will only be liable for

accidents that occur in the course of sports

events and other leisure activities, if caused by

him. The Operator recommends that participants

take out accident insurance.

16.8 Transportation is provided on the basis of

the terms and conditions of transport of the

respective transport provider. These can be

furnished upon request. The terms and conditions

of the German railway company Deutsche Bahn AG

as shown on the reverse side of the train ticket

documents do not apply to the contract between

the participant and wige EVENT. The rights and

duties of the Operator and the participant in

accordance with German travel legislation and

these comprehensive terms and conditions are

not restricted by the terms and conditions of the

relevant transport provider.

16.9 In line with the service description (clause

3), the event documents include Rail & Fly tickets

from Deutsche Bahn AG and an additional ‘Fahren &

Fliegen’ (Drive & Fly) leaflet from the Association of

German Transport Companies.

16.10 Each participant is individually responsible

for arriving in good time at the departure airport,

unless their late arrival is the result of a wilful or

grossly negligent action on the part of the

Operator.

17 Duty of cooperation/complaints

17.1 In the event of disruptions to services, each

participant shall be obliged to cooperate in

avoiding or minimising possible damage within

the framework of the statutory provisions.

17.2 While complaining to the service provider

might often be helpful, it does, however, not

release the participant from their duty to make a

complaint to the Operator. The participant will

find the necessary telephone and fax numbers as

well as e-mail addresses in their event documents

or in the service descriptions. In the event of

damage to or delays in the delivery of baggage or

15.2 The participant shall be obliged to

immediately inform the event management at the

place of destination about their complaint. If no

event management is available at the place of

destination, the Operator shall be informed about

any deficiencies of the event at their place of

business. Participants shall be advised of the

contact details for the event management or

Operator in the service description or, at the

latest, in the event documents. The event

management is responsible for providing redress,

insofar as this is possible. They shall not,

however, be authorised to accept any claims

made by the participant.

15.3 The Operator may also provide redress by

rendering a service of equal or higher value. The

Operator can refuse to provide redress if this

would involve unreasonable expenditure.

15.4 After returning from the event, the

participant may request a reduction in the

participation price, if services were not provided

in conformity with the contract or they did not

culpably omit to notify the Operator of the

deficiency immediately (without undue delay).

15.5 If the event is seriously impaired as a result

of a deficiency and the Operator does not provide

redress within a reasonable period, the participant

may terminate the contract in line with the

statutory provisions – it is recommended that the

participant put the notice of termination in

writing, in their own interest and in order to

document it as evidence. The same applies if the

participant cannot be reasonably expected for

good cause to participate in the event as a result

of a deficiency acknowledged by the Operator. A

reasonable deadline for providing redress does

not apply if redress is impossible or the Operator

refuses to provide redress or if the immediate

termination of the contract is justified in the

participant’s special interest. If the contract is

terminated in this way, the participant shall be

entitled to repatriation. In this case, they shall

only owe the Operator that part of the

participation price which is allocated to the

services they used, if such services were of

interest to them.

16 Liability

16.1 Participants take part in events organised

by the Porsche Travel Club at their own risk.

16.2 If a deficiency exists, the participant is

entitled, irrespective of a reduction in the

participation price or termination, to claim

damages, unless the deficiency of the event was

caused by circumstances beyond the Operator’s

control. They may also claim damages for wasted

holiday time if the event was ruined or seriously

impaired.

16.3 Contractual claims for damages:

the Operator’s contractual liability for damages

other than personal injury is limited to three times

the amount of the participation price, as far as

the damage suffered by the participant was not

caused by the Operator wilfully or through gross

negligence. The limitation of the liability to three

times the participation price also applies to

damage to the participant, other than personal

injury, for which the Operator’s responsibility is

solely due to the fault of a service provider.

16.4 Claims for damages based on tort:

claims for damages asserted against the

Operator for tort that are not due to wilful acts or

acts of gross negligence are limited with respect

to damage to property to the amount of three

times the participation price. These maximum


19 Passport, visa, customs, foreign currency

and health requirements

19.1 The Operator will be responsible for

notifying nationals of the country in which the

event is offered of any requirements concerning

passport, visa and health regulations as well as

any amendments to such regulations before the

start of the event. Nationals from other countries

should contact the respective embassy/consulate

responsible for them. Essential information on

necessary formalities is given in the service

descriptions and event documents. Please

take note of this information and contact your

travel agent should you require more detailed

information.

19.2 If the Operator was entrusted with the visa

application by the participant, the Operator

himself will not be liable for ensuring that the

visas are issued by the relevant consular

authorities in good time, unless the Operator

was ultimately responsible for the delay. The

participant should allow approximately eight

weeks for the processing of visa applications,

etc. by the relevant authorities.

19.3 The participant alone is responsible for

complying with all regulations necessary for the

performance of the event. All disadvantages, in

particular the payment of cancellation charges

arising from non-compliance with these regulations,

shall be borne by the participant, with the

exception of consequences due to culpably

incorrect or deficient information provided by the

Operator.

19.4 Consult the brochure and contact the

Porsche Travel Club to find out whether you need

a passport for your event or whether an ID card

suffices, and please ensure that your passport or

your ID card are valid beyond the event. In some

countries, children under the age of 12 may need

their own passport. In the case of child passports

issued after the aforementioned date, the child

will need a visa.

19.5 Some countries apply very strict customs

and currency regulations. Make sure that you are

well informed and abide by the regulations.

19.6 Some countries demand certain vaccination

certificates, which may not be less than eight days

old and not more than three years old (smallpox)

or ten years (yellow fever). Proof of such

vaccinations is also required by the German

authorities after returning from certain countries

(e.g. Africa, Middle East). For relevant

information, please consult the brochure and

contact the Porsche Travel Club in case of

questions.

20 Data protection

Personal data provided by the participant to the

Operator will be stored in a central database

managed by the Operator. Any data provided will

be used in accordance with data protection

regulations for the sole purposes of contract

handling, participant management, market

research and opinion polls as well as for

proprietary promotional campaigns in conjunction

with the Porsche Travel Club organised by wige

EVENT and Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.

21 Place of jurisdiction/general information

21.1 The recipient of the contract documents

and the written confirmation is obliged to check

the documents received immediately to ensure

that they are correct (name, event data,

destination, etc.) and to immediately notify the

issuer in the event of an error.

goods after a flight, the Operator recommends

that the participant immediately notifies the

respective air carrier at the airport by completing

and submitting the Passenger Irregularity Report

(PIR) within 7 days after discovering the damage

in case of travel baggage, within 14 days after

the acceptance in case of goods, or, in case of a

delay, 21 days after the baggage or the goods

were provided to the participant, at the latest. As

a rule, airlines refuse to pay compensation if the

PIR was not completed and submitted. In

addition, the loss of, damage to or faulty

transport of baggage should be notified to the

event management. If the participant culpably

omits to report a defect, they shall not have any

right to assert any subsequent claims.

18 Exclusion of claims, limitation and

assignment

18.1 Claims on account of the event not being

provided in accordance with the contract

(sections 651c–f of the BGB) must be asserted

with the Operator within one month after the end

of the event as specified in the contract (see

address at the end of these terms and conditions).

This should be made in writing, in the interest of

the participant. The participant may only assert a

claim after the expiry of the period, if they were

prevented from doing so earlier by circumstances

beyond their control. The day on which the event

ended will not be included in the calculation of the

month’s deadline. See clause 16 for asserting

claims relating to damage to baggage, delays in

the return of baggage or the loss of baggage.

18.2 Claims asserted by the participant under

sections 651c–f of the BGB for losses resulting

from fatal injury, bodily harm or damage to

health, which were caused by a wilful or negligent

breach of duty on the part of the Operator or a

legal representative or vicarious agent of the

Operator will lapse according to the statute of

limitations after 2 years. This also applies to

claims for compensation for other damages that

arise from a wilful or grossly negligent breach of

duty on the part of the Operator or a legal

representative or vicarious agent of the Operator.

18.3 All other claims asserted under

sections 651c–f of the BGB lapse after 1 year

according to the statute of limitations.

18.4 The determining date for the lapse of claims

under the paragraphs above is based on the day

that follows the day on which the contractual

event ends.

18.5 Claims arising from unlawful acts lapse

after 3 years.

18.6 If negotiations between the participant and

the Operator regarding the claim or the

circumstances surrounding the claim remain

unresolved, then the period after which the claim

lapses will be postponed until the participant or

the Operator refuses to continue with the

negotiations. The period after which the claim

lapses will take effect at the earliest three months

after the end of the postponement.

18.7 Third parties will only act as agents in

concluding the contract. They are not authorised

to accept any warranty or compensation claims

made by the participant after the end of the

event.


Programme valid

from 10/2015 to 12/2016

Printed in July 2015

21.2 If individual provisions of the contract are

ineffective, the effectiveness of the entire

contract shall remain unaffected. The same shall

apply to these terms and conditions.

21.3 The contractual relationship between the

participant and the Operator shall be subject

exclusively to German law. The same shall apply

to the entire legal relationship.

21.4 Insofar as legal action is taken by the

participant against the Operator in foreign

countries and German law is not applied to the

liability of the Operator on account of the reason

of the action, then German law shall apply

exclusively to the legal consequences, in

particular, regarding the type, scope and

amount of the claims of the participant.

21.5 The participant can take legal action against

the Operator only at the place where the Operator

has its domicile.

21.6 Any legal action taken by the Operator

against the participant must be made at the place

where the participant is resident. The venue for

any legal action against a participant or contract

partner to a contract, who are merchants, legal

persons under public or private law, or persons

who are domiciled or have their place of residence

in a foreign country or whose domicile or usual

residence is unknown at the time the action is

taken, is agreed as the place where the Operator

has its registered office.

21.7 The aforementioned conditions on the

choice of law and the legal venue do not apply,

a) if and insofar as something else applies in

favour of the participant on the basis of

contractually mandatory regulations of

international agreements and which are

applicable to the contract between the participant

and the Operator, or

b) if and insofar as mandatory regulations in the

member state of the European Union to which the

participant belongs are applicable to this contract

and are more favourable to the participant than

the regulations in these terms and conditions or

the applicable German provisions.

These terms and conditions and information apply

to the Operator:
